This issue was brought to our attention 3 years ago when a member had her twins allocated to different schools. Working with TAMBA and Herts County Council, we have secured an improvement - whereby from 2010 multiples will gain priority under rule 5 (nearest to school) for voluntary and community primary schools. However, Herts CC are continuing to work with DCSF to seek our preferred approach - to allow multiples to be treated as an exception under the infant class sized legislation. TAMBA have some guidelines that we have prepared for how to work with your LEA. Good luck!
